    Chester’s good humor and kind ways are reflected in his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Isabel, you were a great team, and I remember many fun times in Molega when our families got together. Dad’s favorite story was about taking Bonnie coon hunting.
    I know you will be of tremendous strength to each other in the days ahead.
